Cheese, like bread, beer and wine, has a very long history and for many generations would have been made by each household. As cheese manufacturing became hugely industrialised home cheese making declined. Excitingly, things are changing and making cheese at home is very much on the increase as people want to be more self sufficient. Cheese, as indeed growing your own vegetables, is playing a large part in the food revival sweeping Britain. This can only be a good thing.

Moorlands aim to be the British premium supplier of cheese making kits, equipment, advice and support for individuals who care where their food comes from, what it contains and how it can benefit their health.

Our cheese making kits make excellent unusual Christmas and birthday presents, becoming very popular as the perfect wedding gift too, being practical, exciting and very rewarding.

Moorlands are proud to be supplying a large number of hotels, restaurants and delicatessens who wish to offer a selection of home made cheeses on their cheese boards.

Food technology centres, universities, schools and colleges order cheese making equipment on a regular basis, to use in food technology lectures, experiments and trials.
